🪢 To the one that didn’t bounce back 🪢
They keep asking why you’re not “back to normal.”
They miss the version of you that never cried in public.
The one that said “I’m fine” and wore it like armour.
But what they don’t understand is you’re not trying to bounce back.
You’re not elastic.
You’re not designed to stretch for everyone else, then snap into place alone.
No.
You’re rebuilding.
Brick by bloody brick.
You’re choosing which parts of the rubble to carry forward.
You’re not a recovery. You’re a rewrite.
And it’s messy. It’s sacred.
It’s yours.

Reinvention is not always loud or linear. Sometimes it’s quiet defiance. A whisper that says, “I’m not who I was, and that’s the point.”
